The Old Way is Overwhelming

Other exam prep courses overwhelm and bore you with too much information. Most of which aren't even on the exam, stretching your study time out to 4 months or more.

Study and pass in only 3 weeks

Pilotdmello fixed this problem by only giving you what you need to study and pass. Saving you months of studying time.

Most of our students study and pass both exams in only 3 weeks of focused study. Take that extra time you saved and apply for a pilot job before others do.

What are the ATPL Exams?

The SARON and SAMRA are the Transport Canada written examinations that serve as the prerequisite knowledge tests for obtaining an Airline Transport Pilot Licence.

Prerequisite knowledge exams for the Airline Transport Pilot Licence

Required to upgrade to Captain on a two-crew aircraft

Each TC exam consists of 80 questions and the pass mark is 70%

Upgrade Your Aviation Career

Why getting your ATPL is a game changer.

1

Command the Aircraft

Step into the left seat. An ATPL is strictly required to act as Pilot-In-Command (Captain) on any two-crew transport category aircraft.

2

Airline Hiring Requirement

Even for First Officer positions, major airlines prioritize or strictly require candidates who have their ATPL exams already written and out of the way.

3

Advanced Knowledge

Mastering high altitude meteorology, complex air law, and swept-wing aerodynamics makes you a much safer and highly competent professional aviator.

I'm sure you've already felt this:
Writing a Transport Canada Exam can be stressful...

  • The ATPL exams have a high failure rate. Finding free time to study while working a line flying job is incredibly tough.
  • Do you have to take time off work to prepare? Find transportation to the remote test centre on your days off?
  • There is too much to study between the two exams. But, is it even going to be asked on the actual test?
  • The Air Command Weather Manual and CARs are hundreds of pages long. It's hard to know exactly what to study!

The Penalty of Failure

If you fail, you will have to wait a long time to write it again.

First failure: 14 days
Second failure: 30 days
Third or subsequent:
30 days + 30 days per extra failure (Max 180 days)

Our Secret System

At pilotdmello, we have a secret system to helping pilots pass these ATPL exams from start to finish in only 3 weeks.

If you get a practice question wrong, you will be given the correct answer reference along with a quick explanation to help you understand the material better.

Practice Exams

We have included a separate section for the SARON practice tests and another for the SAMRA practice tests. Our exam prep helps you save time by giving you exactly what you need to pass.

Answer Explanation Preview

Review detailed feedback and explanations for each question to understand both what the correct answer is and why it is correct.

AIR LAW & PROCEDURES (SARON)

What is the maximum flight time for a flight crew member conducting a single-pilot operation in any 24 consecutive hours?

C. 8 hours in any 24 consecutive hours.
Instructor Explanation

According to CAR 700.27(1)(d), an air operator shall not assign flight time to a flight crew member if their total flight time will exceed 8 hours in any 24 consecutive hours in the case of a single-pilot operation. This is a crucial SARON memory item regarding fatigue management.

METEOROLOGY (SAMRA)

In a polar front jet stream, where is the region of most severe Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) typically located?

A. Below and to the polar side of the jet core.
Instructor Explanation

CAT is most frequently encountered in the vicinity of the tropopause and the jet stream. The most intense CAT is usually found on the polar side of the jet core (the cold air side) and slightly below the core itself, due to the tight temperature and pressure gradients creating high wind shear.

NAVIGATION (SAMRA)

At what point during a long-range high altitude flight should a pilot expect the Mach tuck phenomenon if accelerating past M_crit?

B. When the center of pressure moves aft, causing a strong nose-down pitching moment.
Instructor Explanation

As an aircraft accelerates past its Critical Mach number (M_crit), supersonic flow develops over the wing, causing a shock wave. This boundary layer separation pushes the wing's center of pressure rearward. This aft shift in lift causes a nose-down pitching moment known as Mach tuck.

Video Lessons Preview

Straight to the point short video lessons. No more endless hours of pointless slides.

11:15
Performance (SARON)

Large Aircraft Performance Charts

Learn to easily decode complex performance graphs, calculate V-speeds, and determine climb gradients.

08:45
Meteorology (SAMRA)

Upper Level Charts Mastery

A foolproof breakdown of upper-level winds, jet streams, and high-altitude weather analysis.
